MGM Sets Joel Kinnaman For 'Robocop'

Deadline:
MGM has closed its deal with Joel Kinnaman to play the title role in Robocop, the remake that is being directed by Jose Padilha, helmer of two action packed Elite Squad films. Strike Entertainment partners Eric Newman and Marc Abraham are producing. Josh Zetumer wrote the script.

Well at least this is a done deal and they can move on with the rest of it. It just seems like everytime they decide to make a movie it takes forever to select a cast. By the time that's done....a whole year has gone by.
